Avon invites You to Do Something Beautiful Against Breast Cancer

Press Release

Register for this year’s Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer
(KGBC) Manila Run beginning August 12

Up to this day, breast cancer remains the top killer of
Filipino women, creating an urgent call to every individual—not just those
afflicted with the disease—to step up and take part in the fight against this
life-threatening condition.

Simply knowing such facts does not change things, but
concrete action towards better prevention, treatment and support, in whatever
form, can go a long way. Avon, the foremost corporate advocate of breast
cancer, invites every Filipino to seize the opportunity to do something through
the 2013Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer(KGBC)fundraising
event.

Since its Philippine launch in 2002,
it has been Avon KGBC’s mission
to help provide access to care and support to medically under-served women. This year, the company
for women is once again leading the charge to gain further support for the
cause by launching the ‘Do Something Beautiful Against Breast
Cancer’ Campaign, the idea behind which is simple enough – it speaks to
the Filipino’s innate trait of being matulungin
or helpful, doing something for someone because you are capable and are willing
to help another in need.

GMA 7 starSolenn
Heussaff, the cause’s newest ambassador, joins Avon in inviting everyone to
concretize their commitment to the fight against breast cancer that culminates
with its annualManila Run
Event.

For a registration fee ofPhp550for the5k eventand Php700 for the 10k event, individuals will receive the Avon KGBCRace Kit, which already includes a
singlet, race number and giveaway. Proceeds from the event, whichwill be heldat theSM Mall of Asia Open Grounds on

Center and selected provincial hospitals.

of Asia; Glorietta 3, Makati; Festival Mall, Alabang; and Fitness and Athletics
